Question 1 of 5

A client with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube for the administration of feedings and medications. Which nursing action is appropriate?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Flush adequately with water before and after using the tube. Flushing the tube before and after use not only provides for good tube maintenance, it is flushing that moves medications through. Not all medications should be crushed, for example sustained release preparations should not be cut or pulverized. Stagnant liquids are reduced by flushing after tube use. Cleansing is important, but soap and water are sufficient without the added irritation of hydrogen peroxide.
